To me, this is kind of a prove it game. We haven’t seen this team play 48 minutes of excellent basketball in quite a while. Phoenix comes in smoking hot, making their move for the WC top seed and HFA throughout.
Bucks come in limping after a bad loss to an average Grizzlies team that grabbed a lead and didn’t relinquish.
Need to know what this Bucks team has in them. At home. A prove it game...

First timeout- teams playing about even. Bucks shot selection- mainly Lopez- leaving a bit to be desired. Suns always getting a good look, Bucks taking much higher degree of difficulty shots. Middleton 2/2 early...
Giannis shooting the Bucks to a 6 point deficit...
Giannis is 3/9 and doesn’t have a jump shot made. Had a decent look rattle out to start, but since he’s just taking bad shots.
Connaughton active on the D end...
Not a bad 1st Q. Like the second unit coming on and delivering a 10-3 run to finish the Q. I Like the way Forbes is playing tonight. When he just jacks up a shot whenever he has the ball, he’s frustrating. He buried his first 3, then drew the defense on a second 3 and kicked it to Connaughton wide open in the corner. Play like that.
Still don’t like the quick early 3s and no-pass possessions.
Bucks 2/11 from 3 to start...
Keep sending Giannis to the rim...
Torrey Craig looks good for Phoenix.
Starters 0/7 from 3- almost all of them just Jack-up shots early in the shot clock.
Bucks defense still gives up a lot of open 3s. Way too many open looks against good teams gets you beat.
Giannis rollin’...
Great finish guys... 🤮

Letting a 6'1" guy get an open layup off a double team dead ball in the lane is not good.
Bucks 2-16 from 3 and down 1 at half
Holiday with two bad turnovers on baseball passes.
Sloppy play... could have a big lead, instead they don’t.
Great end of the third. If Middleton would have been better, it could have been even better. Connaughton saved Middleton's ass on to hustle and prevent a layup off that bad turnover.
Torrey Craig is killing them. Incredible how the Bucks had no use for him.
Horrible defense to give up a wide open 3 to Booker
Giannis has not played well since returning in the 4th. Looks like playoff Giannis in the half court right now.

He's been terrible the last 3 minutes
Jrue Holiday >>>> Eric Bledsoe

I say that and Holiday blows three plays in a row.
Need to out-execute one of the best executing teams in the NBA.
Unfucking believable. Bucks give up an 11-0 run and are down 3.
And the Bucks go on one, Phoenix plays team basketball, 10-0 Phoenix run.
Giannis was born without the clutch gene. So many mistakes in the 4th.
Fuck Giannis... what are ya doing dude???

Unbelievable. Giannis FALLS DOWN tripping over his own feet with a chance to win it. That's memeable in terms of how embarrassing that was.
Giannis in the 4th. Turnovers, missing lay ups, shitty shots, baaaad
Looked like 5 seconds to me... how long do you get to inbound the ball?

They run offense through Holiday in a clutch situation and he gets Middleton a wide open 3. Run it through Giannis - just crap. Why not run things through Holiday more often?
Giannis goes down.
THATS AN OFFENSIVE FOUL....
Amazing. Giannis goes out and the Bucks play better in the halfcourt.
BIG TIME THREES!
Well... a prove it game and now we know. 👎👎👎
What is DDV doing running into the middle when Ayton is already covered?
